Jobs · Internships · Collaborations
If what we do excites you and you want to be part of it, tell us what you do. Not a cover letter. A note, in your own words, about what you make, what you care about and what you would like to do here. Write it by hand and send us a photo if you like. We would rather read that than anything a machine wrote for you.
More than a fancy CV, we look for commitment, sincerity and thinking on your feet.
We are an artist-run collective. We make productions, run festivals, teach in universities and schools, and keep a studio open in Lado Sarai. Most of it is made by a small team doing many things at once, with an artist on the phone, a lighting cue to fix and a school waiting for a reply, all in the same hour.
You might be from Harvard. But if you don't see why we would make a show about identity and gender that will never make money in the usual sense, and then find a way to make it sustainable and stay with it until it works, this is not the place for you. If you do, we want to hear from you, wherever you studied and whether or not you studied at all.
We are always looking, not only when a post is open. These are the kinds of people we work with most. For detailed job roles, write to us.
Painters, illustrators, photographers, video and projection artists, puppet and object makers. For productions, installations at our festivals, and the visual side of everything we put out.
You: a body of work you can show, and curiosity about making with musicians, dancers and actors.
Graphic, type, motion, web and spatial designers. Posters, books, zines, merch, stage and festival sites, wayfinding at W.I.P aDDa.
You: strong craft, an eye that is your own, and no fear of a tight deadline or a second draft.
For our verticals: Creative Arts Exploration in universities and schools, ART Immersion for organisations, W.I.P aDDa, and our festivals. Budgets, schedules, partners, artists, rooms, reports.
You: organised, calm, good with people and numbers, and able to keep five things moving without dropping one.
For productions and tours: venues, travel, tech riders, crews, contracts, the show itself.
You: you have run a show, or want to learn by running one with us.
Stage managers, sound engineers, lighting designers and operators for productions, concerts and W.I.P aDDa evenings.
You: you know your desk, and you stay late when the show needs it.
Photographers, filmmakers and writers who record the work: the archive, the press kits, the Substack, Instagram.
You: you notice the moment, and you meet a deadline.
Artists who can run a room: workshops in universities and schools, Naya Canvas residencies, ART Immersion sessions.
You: a practice of your own, and patience and joy in sharing it.
People who bring people in: outreach, community, ticketing, partners, sponsors and grants.
You: you can talk to anyone and you follow up.
Interns work alongside the team on festivals, productions and programmes, on real work from the first week. Tell us when you are free, for how long, and what you want to learn. Students of art, design, media, theatre, music, management and the liberal arts are welcome, and so is anyone who studied none of these.
Most internships are in person at W.I.P aDDa in Lado Sarai, New Delhi, with some work that can be done from elsewhere. If your university needs a letter or a report, tell us when you write.
No. Send one if you have one you like, but the note matters more. Tell us what you have made and what you want to make.
Because we want to hear you. We make work about voice, memory and people. A short honest note with spelling mistakes tells us more than a polished one that could have come from anyone.
Write to us with your note and the role that interests you, and we will send you the detailed role.
For most roles, yes, at least for the days that matter: our studio is in Lado Sarai and most of the work happens in a room with other people. Designers, writers and some project work can be done from elsewhere. Festivals also take us to Bengaluru and other cities.
Yes. Our team was trained in engineering, law, management and research before making work. What you care about counts for more than your degree.
We read every note. If something fits now, we write within a couple of weeks. If not, we keep your note and come back when a project needs you, sometimes months later.
Yes. Choose "Something else" and tell us the idea. For residencies, rehearsals and events at the studio, see W.I.P aDDa.
